On Thursday the reveal for Destiny 2 was on and we got to find out lots of juicy things! There are new subclasses and they tweaked the existing ones. One of the new subclasses is the 'Dawnblade' - the 'Striker' and the 'Gunslinger' we know from Destiny 1.
I've listed below the subclasses and the new/tweaked abilities. I only managed to get what they showed on streams and YouTube channels ... some of the new classes they didn't show like the arcstrider.
